The United States stands with its closest ally the United Kingdom and shares its assessment that Russia is responsible for the reckless nerve agent attack on a British citizen and his daughter, the White House declared in a written statement. And we support the UK's decision to expel Russian diplomats as a just response.

The United States is continuing to actively engage with its allies and partners in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. These are nations that “share our democratic values and our commitment to work together for a stable and peaceful hemisphere,” said Admiral Kurt Tidd, head of U.S. Southern Command.

Thirty years ago, on March 16, 1988, and just before the start of the al-Anfal operation, the regime of then-President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, committed one of the worst atrocities of the modern era: the murder by poison gas of thousands of civilians in the Kurdish-Iraqi town of Halabja.

In late December of last year, the Trump Administration unveiled its National Security Strategy. One of the priority actions to be undertaken by the United States as part of this new plan is the advancement and protection of religious freedom and religious minorities around the globe.

Earlier this year, the White House deplored the human rights abuses imposed on the Iranian people by their government and pledged not to remain silent when Iranians rose up to peacefully protest against repression and corruption, as White House Spokesperson Sarah Sanders made clear:

The United States is slated to become the world's largest oil producer by the year 2023, according to the International Energy Association, or IEA. The rising demand for oil, said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol, has unleashed a wave of growth from the U.S.

While the vast majority of the nearly 100,000 men and women who serve as UN peacekeepers do so with honor and integrity, acts of misconduct still occur, including incidents of sexual exploitation and abuse against the very people peacekeepers are deployed to protect.

U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Douglas Silliman recently joined the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary General and UN Development Program, or UNDP, Resident Representative Lise Grande for a visit to several sites in the Ninewa Plains of Iraq.

For more than a year, the Iraqi armed forces, the Syrian Democratic Forces, and the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS has been chasing ISIS from the territories it once controlled. ISIS began to decentralize as its footholds in Iraq and Syria became increasingly more tentative.

The long reach of terrorism threatens to steal the future of countless Africans, said Secretary Tillerson in a recent speech.In the last year alone, thousands of Africans have died at the hands of terrorists.

President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May agreed that Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent statements on nuclear weapons development are irresponsible, according to a readout of President Trump's recent telephone call with the Prime Minister.

Through the efforts of the Iraqi armed forces, the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, ISIS has been defeated in Iraq, and nearly so in Syria. Its self-proclaimed capitals have fallen and its false caliphate is no more. But that does not mean that the terrorists group and its vicious ideology are no longer a threat to the global community.

The people must partner with government leaders to end corruption. Just as leaders have a duty to establish and enforce the rules, citizens must hold these leaders to their duty, wrote U.S. Ambassador to Nepal Alaina Teplitz.
